This being the second part of setting up your FOCUS NOTEBOOK… in the first part we basically set-up the front cover and the first few pages – resource pages that you will refer to often.

Back Cover: You back cover – the clear space to hold a sheet might be a good place for your current weekly or monthly schedule. Something that’s already completed so you will not have to slide in this and out constantly. Just something you can look at in a moment and see what you need to do for the upcoming hours, days, weeks.Your Weekly Plan Sheet here. Other options for this space… well… anything that looks professional and that you will use often, or may I suggest something decorative and inspiring!?

Inside Pocket – Place the a couple of the most recent brochures, a couple of sales slips, business cards, and thank you postcards and profile cards. Having brochures and business cards every where is a good idea. Yes, keep them everywhere… everywhere!You should NEVER be in a position where you have to say… “I do not have a __________ (brochure, business card, etc) with me!”You should always have a brochure or business card with you.:-)If you run out of brochures for a campaign use an older brochure.

Back inside Pocket – Maybe a current magazine can go here… something you can show customers that highlights an Avon product review or recommendation.Keep a look out in the Representative Times and eNews for mention of products being featured in publication.

Divider #1 – Monthly Goals – On or before the first day of the month EVERY month you should set a goal for the month. Complete the Monthly Goal Sheet with a Retail and Team Building Goal. In the margin break it down to a weekly numbers offices and businesses to present your business to, individual customers to provide a brochure to, classes, booking and interviews. You will create your ‘Five Most Important Things to do list based on this goal. Divider #2- Prospective Hostesses – Use a different prospective booking sheet for each week. Use this system to track all of your leads. Record their name, address and phone and keep track of the status. When you book them complete a profile card while on the phone and then record the date on the profile, on the tracking sheet and in your appointment book. Keep your profiles in the front sleeve cover in the order of the dates of the classes for easy coaching. As you coach their guests add their profile cards. Keep track of notes for your prospects.
